Getting started

I installed the NetworkSimplicity version of OpenSSH for Windows
successfully on my home computer a few months back; at some point, something
happened (still haven't figured out what) and it stopped working. A number
of other things happened (router died, other problems), resulting in me
doing a completely new clean install of WinXP Pro--three times. Finally got
it working otherwise, but after I used the instructions on erdelynet to
install the cygwin method of OpenSSH onWindows, I get this:

I tried another time earlier today and got something slightly different (but
failed to copy and paste it). But now the process ends with the same error
message every time. I think I followed the instructions properly, but maybe
not. Any idea what I'm doing wrong? Thanks for your help.
